Split fitments - If your vehicle has tires of different sizes on the front versus the rear axles, your tires cannot be rotated as recommended. Therefore, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will cover half the number of miles as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire line.

Standard Limited Warranty (All Michelin® Tires)All Michelin® tires have a Standard Manufacturer's Limited Warranty, which covers defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original usable tread, or for 6 years from date of purchase, whichever occurs first.

Michelin Sums Up New Pilot Sport AS/3 by Spider Chart

Regardless of the (relative) charms of illustrating a tire's capabilities via infographic, there's no substitute for firsthand experience-- and indeed, our recent test at NOLA Motorsports Park revealed favorable seat of the pants impressions against its competitors, with exceptional performance on wet autocross courses.

Dry weather handling is outstanding and noise level is low.I have only driven the car in light snow and there appeared to be no compromise in handling or stopping.Ride comfort seems to have improved over the original Michelin OEM tires

At 1600 miles during State inspection I was informed that both front and rear had 9/32 thread reaming. Tire wear was even across the tread and the car checked out mechanically.

I filed a warranty claim with Michelin. I was informed a warranty claim would not be considered until 4/32 thread remains. My potential tire life is 6600 miles. My driving is mixed with the majority local

These are my favorite tires i have ever owned. I have owned a lot of tires through the years and used to manage a tire shop years ago. These perform better than my summer tires from a major competitor did. Especially in daily driving conditions or in the rain and hug the road in the conrners. Plus they are way more comfortable and come with a 45k mile warranty, something you wont get with a summer tire. I don't drive on these in the winter but what i do love is that they will still handle in a light snow if we get an early snow in the fall before i've had a chance to put my winter tires on. I can't recommend these tires enough. Although i must say that in order to get the true performance out of these tires you MUST get the W rated ones.

So I special ordered these tires from a non Michelin dealer. Got them installed and was eager to see the great hype over these tires. I have a 2015 IS250 F Sport and these tires did not perform as to what I expected. On cornering I could feel the tire shaking as it was trying to grip the road (clear sunny day). I got 4 days later as I was not satisfied. Customer service told me to got to a dealer and let them inspect the tires and DOT. He said the tires were in a great condition and told me to call cust. service back. I did that and Michelin told me to go back to the place where I ordered my tires and swap them out with whatever brand. So I ordered a Michelin competitor tire and was getting them installed. They lifted my car and the manager called Michelin to swap out the DOT and Michelin told them they were not authorizing that. It was a big mess!!! I called back and the service rep said he was sorry for the agent saying that. As of now these A/S 3 are making my car fishtail and when I try to accelerate you can feel the tire just spinning. I don't know if I just got a bad batch but this whole scenario is the worst experience ever!

Availability, Pricing and Specs(2 part numbers)

Please use Export to excel link in order to download and print technical specification data.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by:
1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires.
2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
